Amendment 74 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 2 a (new)
(2a) Improvements to the energy efficiency in buildings reduce the demand in heating fuels, especially also solid heating fuels and therefore contribute to improving in- and outdoor air quality and achieving, in a cost effective manner, objectives of Union’s air quality policy, as established in particular by the Air Quality Directive 1a. Therefore, reduction of energy demand in buildings should be considered an element of air quality policy, in general and especially in Member States where achieving Union’s limits on emissions of air pollutants is problematic and energy efficiency could help attain these goals. __________________ 1aDirective (EU) 2016/2284 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 December 2016 on the reduction of national emissions of certain atmospheric pollutants, amending Directive 2003/35/EC and repealing Directive 2001/81/EC (OJ L 344, 17.12.2016, p. 1- 31)

Proposal for a directive
Recital 6
(6) TNot at least in the light of the Paris Agreement, the Union is committed to developing a secure, competitive and decarbonised energy system by 205012 . To meet this goal, Member States and investors need milestones to ensure that buildings are decarbonised by 2050. In order to ensure this decarboniseda stable framework established through a clear long-term vision to achieve a nearly zero energy buildings stock by 2050, Member States should identify the intermediary stepwith binding milestones to achievinge the short-term (2030), mid-term (20340) and long- term (2050) objectives. __________________ 12 Communication on an Energy roadmap 2050, (COM(2011) 885 final).

Amendment 84 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 6 a (new)
(6a) The 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change (COP 21) must be reflected in the Union's efforts to decarbonise its building stock, taking into account that almost 50 % of the Union's final energy demand is used for heating and cooling, of which 80 % is used in buildings. The Union´s energy and climate goals therefore need to be met by switching supply to nearly 100 % renewables by 2050 at the latest, which can be achieved only by reducing our energy consumption and making full use of the ‘energy efficiency first’ principle, as energy efficiency measures are the most cost effective way of achieving greenhouse gas reductions.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 7
(7) The provisions on long-term renovation strategies provided for in Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council13 should be moved to Directive 2010/31/EU (revised), where they fit more coherently and where they act to concretize Member States' plans to arrive at a nearly zero energy buildings stock by 2050 in the EU. While keeping this long-term objective, they should be evaluated on progress and updated every 5 years in order to set out the chosen measures to reach ambitious renovation rates and milestones. The long-term renovation strategies will contribute to boost competitiveness and create local, non-outsourceable jobs, help to combat youth unemployment and energy poverty and provide citizen with energy efficient, healthy and safe buildings. __________________ 13 Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on energy efficiency, amending Directives 2009/125/EC and 2010/30/EU and repealing Directives 2004/8/EC and 2006/32/EC (OJ L 315, 14.11.2012, p. 1).

Proposal for a directive
Recital 7 a (new)
(7a) On a local and regional level, integrated spatial planning and holistic district refurbishment schemes should take account of the merits of buildings fully integrated in their neighbouring energy system, mobility plan and general environment, as this approach will allow to implement more effectively the objectives on energy savings renovations, renewable based district heating and cooling systems, smartness and sustainable mobility set out in this Directive and will maximise important non-energy benefits such as reduced greenhouse gas emissions, air quality, health improvements and reduced energy poverty.

Recital 9
(9) In order to adapt this Directive to the technical progress, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission to supplement it by defining the smartness indicator and enabling its implementation. The smartness indicator in accordance with the methodology set out in this Directive. The smartness indicator, should be connected with the energy performance certificate and should be used to measure buildings’ capacity to use ICT and electronic systemsprovide flexibility to optimise operation and interact with the grid. The smartness indicator will raise awareness amongst building owners and occupants of the value behind building automation and electronic monitoring of technical building systems and will give confidence to the occupant about the actual savings of these new enhanced- functionalities.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 10
(10) IA holistic approach, deep renovation, innovation and new technologyies also make it possible for buildings to support the overall decarbonisation of the economy. For example, buildings can leverage the developmwhole neighbourhoods to become nearly zero energy districts (NZEDs), in which highly energy efficient buildings are key components of the infrastructure necessary for the smart charging of electric vehicles also provide a basis for Member States, if they choose to, to use car batteries as a source of power. To reflect this aim, the definition oflocal energy system and sustainable mobility plans. To reflect this aim, a holistic approach in spatial planning taking also into account non- energy co-benefits such as health and air quality, a focus on deep renovations, openness to future innovations and the extension of the definition and role of energy saving technical building systems should be extendedis imperative.

Amendment 141 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 11
(11) The impact assessment identified two existing sets of provisions, whose aim could be achieved in a more efficient manner compared to the current situation. First the obligation, before any construction starts, to carry out a feasibility study on highly-efficiency alternative systems becomes an unnecessary burden for new buildings and can be streamlined with the requirements to achieve NZEBs standard. Second, provisions related to inspections of heating systems and air- conditioning systems were found to not sufficiently ensure, in an efficient manner, the initial and maintained performance of these technical systems. Even cheap technical solutions with very short payback periods, such as hydraulic balancing of the heating system and installation/replacement of thermostatic control valves, are insufficiently considered today and should be made mandatory. Provisions related to inspections are amended to ensure a better result from inspections.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 12
(12) Notably for large installations,Passive building systems that do not consume energy in operation, effective facility management by professionals, as well as well-maintained energy and resource efficient building automation and control systems for the electronic monitoring of technical building systems have proven to be an effective replacement for inspections. Tall their merits and deliver business cases for cost-effective and significant energy savings. In case of staged deep renovations the optimal order of efficiency improvements should be carefully planned. Replacement and sizing of technical building systems and building automation and control systems should take into account plans for a staged deep renovation. In those cases, they allow continued savings generated beyond the payback period, which can be re-invested during the next phase of a staged-deep renovation. Notably for large installations, building automation and control systems can be an effective complement for inspections. On the condition that they trigger action by owners and managers on the information provided, they can help maintaining energy savings over time, and thus the installation of such equipment should be considered as the most cost-effective alternative to inspections in large non- residential and multi-family buildings of a sufficient size that allow a payback of less than three years. The current possibility to opt for alternative measures is therefore deleted. It should be possible to exempt technical systems explicitly covered by an energy performance contract from an additional inspection requirement. For small scale installations, the documentation of the system performance by the installers and the registration of this information in the databases on energy performance certification by the certifiers will support the verification of compliance with the minimum requirements set for all technical building systems and reinforce energy performance certificates role. In addition, existing regular safety inspections and programmed maintenance work will remain an opportunityccasion to provide direct advice on the possibilities of energy efficiency improvements. as well as renewable, alternative highly efficient installations.

Recital 13
(13) To ensure their best use in building renovation, financial measures related to energy efficiency should be linked to the depth of the renovation, whichand an holistic approach of the renovation to ensure high energy performance of the concerned building or districts, with a specific focus on energy poor households. Such renovations should be assessed by comparing energy performance certificates (EPCs) issuedbefore and after the renovation and by comparing levels of non-energy benefit reference values such as comfort, air quality, energy poverty and access to sustainable mobility of the inhabitants before and after the renovation.

Recital 16
(16) To meet the objectives of energy efficiency policy for buildings, the transparency and role of EPCs should be improvstrengthened by ensuring that that all necessary parameters for calculations, for both certification and minimum energy performance requirements, are set out and applied consistently. Member States sh, and by including recommendations on how the energy performance of the building could be improved. Member States could make EPCs evolve to individual building renovation passports and could put in place adequate measures to ensure, for example, that the performance of installed, replaced or updated technical building systems is documented in view of building certification and compliance checking.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 18
(18) The provisions of this Directive should not prevent Member States from setting more ambitious energy performance requirements at district or building level and for building elements as long as such measures are compatible with Union law. It is consistent with the objectives of this Directive and of Directive 2012/27/EC that these requirements may, in certain circumstances, limit the installation or use of products subject to other applicable Union harmonisation legislation, provided that such requirements should not constitute an unjustifiable market barrier.

Amendment 199 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 19 a (new)
(19a) Cities, regional and local authorities show already the example by implementing energy efficiency measures, building renovation schemes and enabling self-generation. Bodies such as the Covenant of Mayors, smart cities and communities or 100% renewable energy communities contribute through the actions of their members to increase energy performance and allow the sharing of best practice on achieving the energy transition. Especially projects on district level showcase the need to consider the function of buildings integrated in a local energy system, local mobility plan and their ecosystem in general.

Annex 1 a (new)
1 a. The following annex is added: 'ANNEX Ia Common general framework methodology for the calculation of a 'smartness indicator' for Buildings as referred to in Article 8, paragraph 6 1. The Commission shall lay down a common general framework methodology to determine the smartness indicator value, rating the ability of a building or building unit to provide flexibility to the needs of the occupant and the grid, to generate energy savings and to improve its energy efficiency and overall performance while protecting the health and safety of its occupants. The methodology shall take into account a number of features including smart meters and monitors, building automation and control systems, indoor air quality and daylight sensors, smart thermostats, built-in home appliances, smart recharging points for electric vehicles in the meaning of Art 8, paragraph 2, subparagraph 1, energy storage and detailed functionalities and the interoperability of these features. Those impacts shall be assessed for potential benefits for the energy efficiency and performance levels, as well as reference values for non-energy benefits such as indoor climate conditions and comfort of the relevant building or building unit. 2. The smartness indicator shall be determined and calculated in accordance with three key functionalities relating to the building and its technical building systems: (a) the ability to maintain, efficiently, high building performance and operation through the reduction of energy demand and a greater use of energy from renewable sources (electricity and heat), including the ability of the building to manage its own demand or on-site generation by re-managing its own resources; (b) the ability to adapt its operation mode in response to the needs of the occupant ensuring high standards of indoor health and climate conditions, paying due attention to the availability of user-friendly displays, remote controllability and reporting of indoor air quality and energy use; and (c) the flexibility of a building's overall electricity demand, i.e. to enable participation in implicit and explicit demand response, which shall be measured in terms of how much of the building's load can be shifted at any one time in terms of kW peak, and the capacity in terms of kWh of how much of that flexibility can then be delivered to the grid, including offtake and injection. These features should result from embedded and interconnected technical building equipment, components, storage and appliances steered and optimised through dynamic self-learning control systems. This would enable and support the active participation of consumers in the electricity supply market in accordance with the Directive 2009/72/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council*. The framework methodology shall take into account European standards, in particular those developed under mandate M/480 as well as those covered by the Eco-design directive and the relevant product-specific regulations. 3. The framework methodology shall ensure full interoperability between smart meters, building automation and control systems, built-in home appliances, smart thermostats and indoor air quality sensors and ventilations within the building and promote the use of benchmarking and European standards including the Smart Appliances Reference ontology. The smartness indicator shall consider and set a value on (a) openness to third-party systems, for infrastructure such as the electricity grid, electric vehicle infrastructure and demand-response aggregators, with a view to ensuring compatibility in communications, systems control and relevant data or signals transmission. (b) possible rebound effects per system and the overall installation, as well as related user-friendliness for detection of behavioural patterns (c) reference values for reduced performance in case technical building systems are not properly maintained or energy performance recommendations are not implemented. 4. The framework methodology shall include the data handling process within a building or beyond a building’s boundaries, which could include data originating in or received by the building itself or the user or occupant. This process shall be based on protocols that allow authenticated and encrypted message exchanges between the occupant and the relevant products or devices within the building. In particular when processing personal data, such as data coming from frequent and remote metering or sub-metering or processed by smart-grid operators, the principles of occupant ownership, data protection, privacy and security shall be ensured. This common methodology framework shall cover real time data and energy- related data coming out of cloud based solutions and shall ensure the security of data, smart meter readings and data communications, and the privacy of final customers, in compliance with relevant Union general data protection, security and privacy law and having due regard of the best available techniques for cyber security. 5. The framework methodology shall take into account the positive influence of existing communication networks, in particular the existence of high-speed- ready in-building physical infrastructure, such as the voluntary 'broadband ready' label, and the existence of an access point for multi-dwelling buildings, in accordance with Article 8 of Directive 2014/61/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council**. 6. The framework methodology shall set out the most appropriate format or visual representation of the smartness indicator parameter and shall be simple, transparent, and easily understandable for consumers, owners, investors, and demand response market participants. It shall complement the energy performance certificate insofar as there is an established link to the energy performance of the building. __________________ * Directive 2009/72/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 concerning common rules for the internal market in electricity (OJ L 211, 14.8.2009, p. 55). ** Directive 2014/61/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 concerning measures to reduce the cost of deploying high-speed electronic communication networks (OJ L 155, 23.5.2014, p. 1).’
